Replacing 700R4 Shift Linkage Seal...any advice?
#21
[QUOTE=ihatebarkingdogs;1594634817]Did you turn the center screw on the tool out first? If the center screw is turned in too far the center screw bottoms on the shaft before the "cone" screws into the seal.
There are ways to get the new seal installed with minimum clearance. Short socket that the shaft sticks through the square-drive hole works pretty well. Gives you something to tap on without cocking the seal or hitting the shaft with the hammer.[/QUOTE
I didn't put the screw on until I had the seal tool on. It won't even touch the seal even after I hit tool with hammer. The tool I used was an ever craft 776–9250 GM transmission seal tool. Does the 700r4 require a bigger sized opening on the tool? I was under there with a light after I hit it with a hammer and it still was not near the seal
